FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. LET’S GET YOU SOME ANSWERS.
Whether you’re exploring intentional success coaching, considering a workshop or simply trying to figure out your next step, here are answers to some of the questions I’m asked most often.
What is intentional success coaching?
Intentional success coaching begins with defining what success means to you—not what someone else says it should look like.
Together, we look at what matters most, where you are now and what you’re ready to create, change or experience. From there, we turn intention into clarity, meaningful decisions and action.
It’s not about becoming someone else. It’s about intentionally stepping into more of who you already are.

How does working with Coach Lori Anne work?
It starts with you.
Before we talk about goals, strategies or action plans, we get clear about what you truly want, what matters to you and what you’re ready to create, change or experience.
From there, we follow Coach Lori Anne’s intentional three-step process—Intentional Living, Clarity Blueprint and Action Accelerator—to turn that clarity into meaningful goals, strategy and intentional action.
And because life changes, we reassess, realign and keep moving.

What is the Take Action Academy?
The Take Action Academy is where intention becomes action.
It brings together Coach Lori Anne’s workshops, group experiences, self-guided resources, private coaching and strategic support so you can choose the level of guidance that works for you.
You don’t have to begin in the same place as everyone else. Start where you are—and choose the support that helps you take your next step.
How do I know which program or service is right for me?
You don’t have to figure that out alone.
Some people are ready for private coaching. Others want the energy and accountability of a group, a focused workshop, a self-guided resource or simply 30 minutes with Coach Lori Anne to work through one immediate challenge.
If you’re unsure, let’s connect. We’ll talk about what you’re working toward, where you may be feeling stuck and what kind of support makes the most sense for you.
Do I have to start with a particular program?
No.
There is no single starting point because there is no single path to intentional success.
You can begin with a workshop, a self-guided resource, group coaching, Coach on Call or a deeper private coaching experience.
The important part isn’t where you begin.
It’s that you begin.
What can I expect when working with Coach Lori Anne?
Expect questions. Sometimes really good ones. 😉
Expect honest conversation, new perspectives, practical strategy, accountability and encouragement—but also expect to take action.
Coach Lori Anne isn’t here to hand you someone else’s definition of success. She works alongside you as a coach, strategist and decision partner to help you gain clarity, make intentional choices and move forward.
She makes suggestions. You make decisions. And then you walk the journey together.
How quickly can I expect results?
That depends on what you want to change or accomplish, where you’re starting and—most importantly—what you do with what you discover.
Clarity can happen quickly. A decision can happen in a moment. Meaningful, lasting change usually comes from what happens next: consistently putting that clarity into action.
There are no magic timelines or guaranteed outcomes.
But you won’t be encouraged to sit around waiting for someday either. 😉
Do you work with both personal and business goals?
Absolutely.
In fact, Coach Lori Anne believes the two are often more connected than we realize.
Your business, career, relationships, health, finances, personal growth and the way you want to spend your time are all part of the life you’re creating.
That’s why the process begins with lifestyle rather than jumping immediately into business or performance goals.
Success should support your life—not require you to sacrifice it.
What if I know something needs to change, but I don’t know exactly what I want yet?
Then you’re actually in a very good place to begin.
You don’t need a perfectly articulated goal, a five-year plan and a color-coded spreadsheet before we can talk. 😂
Sometimes the starting point is simply:
“I know I want something different.”
The first part of the process is designed to help you explore what matters, uncover what you truly want and begin creating clarity around what comes next.
Can I work with you if I only need help with one specific decision or challenge?
Yes. That’s exactly why Coach on Call exists.
Sometimes you don’t need an entire coaching program. You need a decision partner, a fresh perspective or focused strategy around something happening right now.
Coach on Call gives you 30 minutes with Coach Lori Anne to focus on the challenge, decision or opportunity in front of you and determine your next step.
Do you offer group programs as well as private coaching?
Yes.
The Take Action Academy offers several ways to work with Coach Lori Anne, including live workshops, group coaching experiences, masterminds, private coaching, Coach on Call and self-guided resources.
Some people thrive with personalized one-to-one support. Others love learning and taking action alongside a community.
And sometimes you may want both.
Choose the environment and level of support that best serves what you need right now.
Are your programs virtual or in person?
Both.
Many coaching sessions, workshops and group experiences are offered virtually, allowing you to participate from wherever you are.
Coach Lori Anne also offers select in-person workshops, retreats, speaking engagements and experiences.
Specific program or event pages will always provide the details for that particular experience.
What makes your approach different from traditional coaching?
Coach Lori Anne doesn’t begin by asking you to create another list of goals.
She begins by asking you to look at the life those goals are supposed to create.
Her approach combines coaching, strategy, accountability and intentional action through a three-step process:
Intentional Living → Clarity Blueprint → Action Accelerator
It’s not about telling you what your success should look like. It’s about helping you define it for yourself, create a strategy that supports it and then actually do something about it.
Because clarity without action is still just clarity.
What does “Lifestyle First. Goals Second. Action Always.™” mean?
It means we change the order.
Instead of starting with, “What do you want to accomplish?” we start with, “How do you want to live?”
Once you have clarity around the lifestyle you want to create, you can set meaningful goals that actually support it.
Then comes the part that changes everything:
Action.
Not someday. Not when everything is perfect. Intentional action that begins moving you toward what matters.
Lifestyle First. Goals Second. Action Always.™
I’m ready—or at least ready to talk. What’s my next step?
Perfect. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we connect.
If you know you need support but aren’t sure which path is right for you, schedule a conversation with Coach Lori Anne.
If you have a specific challenge, decision or opportunity you want to work through right now, Coach on Call may be your best next step.
Either way, you’ve already done something important:
You stopped waiting and took the first step.
